Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if (/ (- x y) (- 1.0 y)) < 0.9999757854261411

    1. Initial program 0.1

      \[1 - \log \left(1 - \frac{x - y}{1 - y}\right)\]
    2. Using strategy rm

    3. Applied div-inv0.1

      \[\leadsto 1 - \log \left(1 - \color{blue}{\left(x - y\right) \cdot \frac{1}{1 - y}}\right)\]

    if 0.9999757854261411 < (/ (- x y) (- 1.0 y))

    1. Initial program 62.3

      \[1 - \log \left(1 - \frac{x - y}{1 - y}\right)\]

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 0.3

      \[\leadsto 1 - \log \color{blue}{\left(\left(\frac{x}{y} + 1 \cdot \frac{x}{{y}^{2}}\right) - 1 \cdot \frac{1}{y}\right)}\]

    3. Simplified0.3

      \[\leadsto 1 - \log \color{blue}{\left(1 \cdot \left(\frac{x}{{y}^{2}} - \frac{1}{y}\right) + \frac{x}{y}\right)}\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification0.1

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;\frac{x - y}{1 - y} \le 0.9999757854261411:\\ \;\;\;\;1 - \log \left(1 - \left(x - y\right) \cdot \frac{1}{1 - y}\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;1 - \log \left(1 \cdot \left(\frac{x}{{y}^{2}} - \frac{1}{y}\right) + \frac{x}{y}\right)\\ \end{array}\]
